Coloring K2 Public Enemy's

[Dawson_ar]

I believe i have the 03-04 K2 Public Enemy's (they have the picture of the swat team going to the underground rave in at the subway) and the time that ive spent o nthe chairlift blazed out of my mind i have the idea of coloring in some of the pictures on the skis, the design is already sick but i thikn it would be real sick if i got some colored sharpies and just filled in some of the drawings. Has anyone done this befor or think it owuld be a good idea..... post your comments please

it will probably work at first but after a while in the snow it's going to get wet and wear off pretty easily. my friend who knows a lot about paints was telling me to use an acrylic paint to paint my board if i wanted to.

 

[Dawson_ar]

yea thats what i was htinking, anyone every paint their board/skis? what did you use? has it stayed

paint cracks as the ski flexs, sharpie stays on really good, a guy did it to his thalls, and a kid by me colored he PEs in all bright colors, iit looks soooo bad assed.

sharpie doesnt stay on good. I did it to my old skis and its coming off after 2 nights of jibbing in my yard.

Get an alcohol based marker.

Sniff the sharpies and let the colors unfold.

Sharpies work fine and stay on.

You need to touch of areas every once in a while, but it works pretty well as is easy.

I've done it to both my old public enemies and seth pistols.

just take your time and don't mess up. Every few times out you need to touch of spots that fade, but nothing too serious.

Yo iggyskier thanks alot man that shit looks real nice, im gonan try and not over due it but make shit stand out

 

[iggyskier]

yeah, try and focus on making the stuff you want to stand out.

as you can see on both my skis I tried to use black to really define certain things.

and go slow.

Color some, see how you like it and wait a bit. See where you think you should ass more stuff.

then color it more, but still slow.

It is easy to fuck up, but worth it in the end.

The best thing will be when people ask you about the new armadas(i have armada stickers on both skis) or what not, particularly when they actually are skiing on the exact same ski as the one your colored.

they get pretty embarrased when you tell them.
